Notes on this filing
- C1: applicant, admit and enrolled totals are sums of the male, female and unknown rows; they match the residency table (37561 / 3869 / 1443).
- C2: waitlist block mapped by position: offered 7608, accepted a place 6422, admitted from waitlist 274. The row labels are cut off in the PDF.
- C2: the waitlist is not ranked.
- C8A/C8F: C8F clarification is blank, so the policy comes from the C8A checkboxes only. C8A checkboxes are for Fall 2027 applicants.
- C9: SAT and ACT percent submitting are printed as 47% and 21%; counts are 671 and 302.
- B22: printed retention is 95.00%, but 1355/1422 computes to about 95.3%. The printed figure is used.
- B4-B11: the 2019 bachelor's cohort is used. The printed six-year rate is 91%. The four-year rate is not printed, so it is left null.
- C11: GPA bands sum to 100 (14+63+21+2). Only the 3.25-3.49 band (2%) falls below 3.50.
- H2: first-time, full-time first-year column, 2025-26 estimated. Line d is 474 and line c is 474, but the filing prints no percent awarded, so pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null.
- H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (474) / line d (474) = 100.0.
- G1: private institution, so tuition is entered once (70300); in-state and out-of-state are null. Room and board uses the on-campus food and housing figure (22406).
- J1: the discipline percentages were not used because the schema has no field for them.
- I-2: the student-to-faculty ratio of 8.3:1 is not used by the schema.
